THE STREET

 

Old walls that should have already fell seem to have become even bigger. The walls that divide a society increasingly classified into two parts:

Who has and who has nothing.

In detriment of everything that means freedom, it seems that we have begun a path with a difficult return, a path that will lead us, if we don’t change it, to a total control by the ruling powers and it seems that these are the markets.

Institutions that known that they are mortally wounded and attempt a crackdown on people collecting everything that they have gained throughout their lives and, blatantly stealing their future dreams under the banner of common good, when all of us know that the only good that matters is "profit".

Economical power, in the middle of everything, hanging in people at home. Political power as a puppet of the first, legislates all that is necessary to achieve it.

The result is a society increasingly poor in resources and dreams, a society increasingly surrounded by gray.

We have to struggle to pull down these walls ... like many others that have fallen in the history of mankind.

Like in art, we have to create new ways of understanding life and fight for policies where people really matter. Like in art, we have to take the concepts and refine them to seek new paths.

 

Let’s paint reality as we feel it and want it for all of us and not like it’s imposed by a few…

 

Less absurd politics and more art.
